I started learning crotchet ages ago & the only thing I finished were potholders. Not sure if the yarn I used is good for it or not so they're just deco. Nowadays I'm more of trying the different stitches as well trying to memorize how to do the mystery ring. Bobbin lace is on my to learn list along with learning how to crotchet lace.
Thank you for showing this great art and craft of hand made lace. It's been quite sometime I haven't done some. I been reorganizing in my home so I can have a nice space to do some lace. Please continue to show those who know little or none of this. Liked your cushion for the pins.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to continue this piece - I might get fed up with it and tie off tomorrow, or I might keep going for months (although if I drag it out too long I'm going to have to start splicing in new threads, which is a nightmare). Either way I'll definitely post pics on tumblr, and I'm thinking of doing some kind of "finishing off" video here as well. Thanks so much for leaving a comment!
@@bobbinlaceasmr ....see i didnt even think of how new threads entered the piece - i take so much for granted! But yes def share whatever you finish. Maybe do a new series for the next piece? The clink of bobbins is pretty relaxing. Thx for posting!
@@duerme07 yup, no knots in lace so it's a whole process. Regarding future videos, I actually have another WIP currently that I'm planning to make a video of soon! It uses a different type of bobbins that make a quite different, but still very nice sound. It's been on the backburner for a good six months though, so I'll need to spend a bit of time re-familiarizing myself with the pattern so there aren't a bunch of long pauses where I try to figure out what I'm doing.
Thank you this was indescribably cozy and I cam just imagine being with my gran again listening to her knit or paint with the little clacks and tinkling or her tools like this. I cried but was so relaxed and felt like home. Thank you
I found this kind of sound from Tiktok and I LOVE it immediately then I try to find this sound as ASMR and finally found you. Thanks for making this. Btw I’m from Thailand and this special bobbin doesn’t exist here.
Lovely video, so relaxing 😌 I’ve been considering learning to make lace as a stress reliever lately, and this video makes that look all the more tempting 😊
Thank you! There are various ways of hanging in new threads depending on how much warning you have (if the thread breaks your choices are limited compared to just running out where you can see it coming and plan ahead) what type of pattern you're working, where in the pattern you are, etc. Simplistically though, what you usually do is stick a pin a bit off to the side and hitch the new thread onto it, then throw back the old thread and work the new thread in its place. Usually once you've worked an inch or so you can remove the anchor pin. Sometimes you carry the new and old threads together for a bit but I prefer not to do that if I can avoid it because it's confusing. Honestly though, most modern pieces are sized such that the best strategy is to just wind enough thread to get you through the whole thing!
Thank you! I got it on etsy - the seller is elmundillodeeva. They are a bit pricey especially with shipping costs, but very nice quality as you can see! I especially love the little drawer for storing your tools.
The pillow is from elmundillodeeva (they actually featured this video on their homepage, lol - with permission). The pincushion was handmade for me by my sister.
yep! it's not really complicated enough to deserve to be called a "pattern" - it's literally just one row of double stitch in approximately worsted weight yarn. I used a size H hook I think? super duper easy (which is good because that's about the extent of my ability to crochet lol)
I've watched a few intro videos for making bobbin lace, but haven't tried it myself yet. From what I've seen in instructional videos the bobbins are always worked in pairs, but it looks like you're working with 3 bobbins some of the time. Could you tell me more about the stitch you're doing? (i.e. the first stitches you do at 1:17 where a single bobbin is moved from left to right across the piece)
That's called a "gimp" (somewhat unfortunate but there is no shared etymology with the slur for disabled people). It's a thicker thread used to outline the pattern in some styles of lace. I suppose you can't really see that it's thicker than the others at this resolution so it must look quite arbitrary, haha!
Ha! A deceptively simple question with a long and complicated answer… Well, if you just want to know what thread I am using in this particular video, it’s Superior Threads brand ”Kimono Silk“ thread. However, this answer is almost entirely useless if you are asking because you want to know what thread to use in your own projects. Choosing thread for a lace project is a difficult art in itself, and unfortunately, I can offer little guidance aside from ”buy different types of thread and try them out“ (unless you are lucky enough to get a pattern which has a recommended thread which is still in production!) In general, you will have better luck looking at specialty lace suppliers than you will going to normal sewing or craft supply stores, though that doesn't mean you can’t use sewing thread by any means. For Bucks lace like I’m making here, I can say that 80/2 or 100/2 Egyptian Cotton or Presencia Finca is often used. I also love Brok 100/2 or 100/3 if you can get your hands on it, though it can be difficult to find. However, optimal thread choice really depends on so many things… style of lace, scale, the effect you want to create, and perhaps most of all availability, which is not at all guaranteed to be the same everywhere! A thread might be perfect for your project in theory, but if you can’t get it, it’s worthless.
Those loopy bobbin holders would drive me crazy. Bobbin lace can be a long, slow process. These bobbin holders are a time waster, with the looping and unlooping of single bobbins. Just push the unwanted bobbins aside. When you need them it will take only seconds to sort them out. I’ve happily worked with up to 55 pairs without needing any kind of holder. If you’re using large numbers of bobbins (many more than here) the European wooden bobbin holders let you scoop up several bobbins at once and then drop them back in place when you need them. Please don’t think I’m being discouraging here. It’s great that bobbin lace has seen such a resurgence of interest. I just think we should be careful about making the job more difficult and time-consuming than it needs to be.
Well, thanks for the advice. I have some wooden holders but don't like them very much. I also tend to be a bit more precise in my videos than when I am just making lace normally, since the goal of the videos is to provide a relaxing and pleasant sensory experience for the viewer and not actually to make lace efficiently. This is why I say in my channel description that my videos aren't meant to be educational - first of all I am not experienced enough to be a teacher, and second sometimes I do things deliberately wrong anyway because I think it looks or sounds better.
@@bobbinlaceasmr Bobbin Lace is an adventure and we all find our own way. A technique that is just right for one person may drive another one crazy. At the beginning I was worried about using large numbers of bobbins because I thought they would get tangled, but finally I just pushed them aside and it proved to be so easy to find my way when I got back. As I got more experience with reading a pricking I found it was Please continue with your videos. It’s a great way to promote the craft.
This is my absolute favourite kind of video! No talking, no cover music, just the beauty of someone working. Love it, thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
The clinking of the bobbins is the sweet music !!!!❤❤
Something about the sound of the handles clincking together is so relaxing
Welcome to ASMR
I will NOT try something new until I learn how to crochet *continues to be mesmerized by this video 👀
lol... OR WILL YOU 😇

😂😂…I can’t stop watching either! But for some reason I feel anxiety kick in. Yet everything about this video is beautiful.
This is as impressive as it is relaxing
Thank you! I'm glad it was relaxing for you - that's my goal!

Thank you, I'm so glad you liked the video! The pincushion was a Christmas gift from my sister, I like it very much as well :)
This one has proven a little dangerous for me. If I as much as think about it I risk getting very sleepy. 😴 I love this, thank you!
I think this might be my favorite comment so far, every time I look at it it's like getting a little QUEST COMPLETE ping. Thank you!!
This was nice to listen to :)
It'll be awesome to see the finished lace!

I have to say I teared up a little reading this too... I'm so honored I could bring you back to that time ❤️
Oh, why I haven’t found this one before! The best tingles
I found this kind of sound from Tiktok and I LOVE it immediately then I try to find this sound as ASMR and finally found you. Thanks for making this. Btw I’m from Thailand and this special bobbin doesn’t exist here.
Adored this! Would love more!
Thank you so much! I've just posted a new video, I hope you like it!

Go for it! It's a great hobby. I'm glad you liked the video!
Clink clink clink
I attempt to shove pretty noises into my mouth and fail
yes, I regret to inform you that bobbins are not for eating ;)
What happens if one runs out of thread? Also very relaxing and mesmerizing

This is breathtaking talent
I asked google and i got you ! Perfection
haha I strive for truth in advertising! so glad you like the channel!
So relaxing! ❤️ 😴 😴 😴
It’s an instrument that also happens to make lace 😊
Hi! I absolutely love your pillow set up! Where did you get it?
Thank you! I got it on etsy - the seller is elmundillodeeva. They are a bit pricey especially with shipping costs, but very nice quality as you can see! I especially love the little drawer for storing your tools.
Oh I love it. What a beautiful job. Where did you get your pillow? I love it too.
What do you have your bin sticking in?
The pillow is from elmundillodeeva (they actually featured this video on their homepage, lol - with permission). The pincushion was handmade for me by my sister.
beautiful! do you have a pattern or source for the bobbin holder you use to secure the bobbins in order? (looks like crochet maybe?)
yep! it's not really complicated enough to deserve to be called a "pattern" - it's literally just one row of double stitch in approximately worsted weight yarn. I used a size H hook I think? super duper easy (which is good because that's about the extent of my ability to crochet lol)
I qould livw to know how ro read and follow the patterns
Neat desktop computer with an awesome graphics card.
If you run out of pins next to you, can you start taking them out of the back and moving the front where you're working?
yep! pretty common to do it that way although I guess I never have in my videos
Are you reading from the book
Loved your pillow where did you get it?

I've just uploaded one now! Thank you for commenting :)
I'm curious, what book are you referencing? Source of your pattern?
yep! The book is "A Visual Introduction to Bucks Point Lace" by Geraldine Stott and the pattern is number 11, Joy
Thank you!
Do you use a particular type of thread?
